CONCERNING GUNS. 


The ordnance used in the United States navy is 
not so named as to give a layman much of an idea of 
the particulars of the various pieces. It is under¬ 
stood that a 13-inch gun is vastly more powerful 
than a 6-inch gun, but what weight of metal each 
one throws and how much powder is required for a 
charge is a mystery. In the following table an effort 
is made to give these details, although all the 6-inch 
guns are not exactly alike, and the same may be 
said of the 8-inch and some others :

ALLOWANCE OF PRIZE MONEY. 

In the early days of this country we had no navy; 
in fact the United States had no real equipment of 
organized marine warfare until after the Revolution. 
Such part of the struggle for independence as was 
fought on the seas was conducted almost entirely by 
private enterprise. 

As our navy grew in size and power and began to 
be a factor of importance it was considered advisable 
to give the tars an equal chance with the privateers¬ 
men. The latter took all the prizes for their own 
account as the government was at no expense in 
building the ships or fitting them for sea cruising. 
In the case of navy vessels, however, it was differ¬ 
ent. These were supplied, provisioned, and equipped 
by the government, and to even matters up it was 
decided to cut the prize money into two equal parts 
— one to be retained by the government as a sort of 
interest or premium on its cash investment; the 
other to be divided among the officers and crew of 
the vessel making the seizure. 

WHAT ARE LAWFUL PRIZES. 

An enemy’s ships and goods taken under the 
enemy’s flag are always lawful prizes. Beyond this 
each nation makes its declarations as may best suit 
the exigencies of the situation. In the war now wag¬ 
ing between America and Spain President McKinley 
has laid down the following rules, and they have also 
been proclaimed by Spain; 

A neutral flag shall protect the enemy’s goods not 
contraband of war. 

Goods of neutrals, not contraband, shall not be con¬ 
fiscated, even though found under the enemy’s flag. 

Blockades to be respected must be effective. 

The main trouble arises from the fact that the 
term “contraband of war” is elastic and changeable. 
What is contraband at one time is not so considered 
at another. Thus, before the days of steam vessels 
coal was not a necessity in hostile operations, and 
was not contraband. Now a warship must have 
coal to move its engines and therefore coal has been 
declared contraband of war. If an English ship 
should carry a cargo of coal for Spain or Spanish 
citizens it would be liable to seizure by the first 
American war vessel that ran across it. During the 
civil war of 1861-5 cotton was the backbone of the 
Confederacy. It brought a big price in gold, aud 


the money was used in maintaining the war. The 
Union government accordingly declared cotton con¬ 
traband of war, and seized it wherever found. 

DIVISION OF PRIZE MONEY. 

The distribution of prize money is regulated by 
Sections 4630, 4631, and 4632 of the revised statutes 
of the United States, which are as follows: 

“Section 4630.—The net proceeds of all property 
condemned as prize shall, when the prize was of 
superior or equal force to the vessel or vessels 
making the capture, be decreed by the captors; and 
when of inferior force one-half shall be decreed to 
the captors, except that in case of privateers and 
letters of marque, unless it shall be otherwise pro¬ 
vided in the commissions issued to such vessels. 

“Section 4631.—All prize money adjudged to 
the captors shall be distributed in the following 
proportions: 

“First. To the commanding officer of a fleet or 
squadron, one-twentieth part of all prize money 
awarded to any vessel or vessels under his immediate 
command. 

“ Second. To the commanding officer of a division 
of a fleet or squadron, on duty under the orders of 
! the commander-in-chief of such fleet or squadron, a 
sum equal to one-fiftieth part of any prize money 
awarded to a vessel of such division for a capture 
made while under his command, such fiftieth part 
to be deducted from the moiety due to the United 
States, if there be such moiety, otherwise from the 
amount awarded to the captors, but such fiftieth 
part shall not be in addition to any share which may 
be due to the commander of the division, and which 
he may elect to receive as commander of a single 
ship making or assisting in the capture. 

“Hard. To the fleet captain one-hundredth part 
of all prize money awarded to any vessel or vessels 
of the fleet squadron in which he is serving, except 
in a case where the capture is made by the vessel on 
board of which he is serving at the time of such 
capture, and in such ease he shall share in proportion 
to his pay with the other officers and men on board 
such vessel. 

“Fourth. To the commander of a single vessel 
one-tenth part of all the prize money awarded to the 
vessel under his command, if such vessel at the time 
of the capture was under the command of the 


commanding officer of a fleet or squadron, or a 
division, and three-twentieths if his vessel was 
acting independently of such superior officer. 

“Fifth. After the foregoing deductions the resi¬ 
due shall be distributed and proportioned among all 
the others doing duty on board, including the fleet 
captain, and borne upon the books of the ship, in 
proportion to their respective rates of pay in the 
service. 

“Section 4632.—All vessels of the navy within 
signal distance of the vessel or vessels making 
the capture, under such circumstances, and in such 
condition as to be able render effective aid, if 
required, shall share in the prize; and in case of 
vessels not in the navy, none shall be entitled to 
share except the vessel or vessels making the 
capture; iu which term shall be included vessels 
present at and rendering actual assistance in the 
capture.”

In nearly every grade there is an increase in pay 
for every five years of service. Take the case of a 
paymaster, for instance, who starts with minimum 
salary of $2,800 a year for sea duty, and he can. by 
subsequent terms of service, work himself up to 
$4,200 a year. There will be no increase in rank, 
unless there is a regular promotion; the extra pay is 
a reward by the government, or rather an induce¬ 
ment for experienced officers to remain in the service. 

The pay of a common sailor, landsman is his 
official name, is $21 a month and from this there is a 
gradual increase for “ordinary” and “able” seamen 
up to $30 a month.
